Created by Lilias

Takes place on August 19, 2018

Vermont Childrens Theatre

Kingdom Trails and Riverside School are hosting the first ever Race Back to School walk-run-bike-a-thon on Sunday, August 19.

Based at the Vermont Childrens Theatre this year, the event will take place on a designated loop system of the Kingdom Trails network. These loops will offer varying degrees of distance and fitness challenge for bikers, runners and walkers. Participants – individuals or teams of up to four – will receive points for each loop and for completing “Fun Stations” within the two-hour competition time.

There are two ways to win!!!:

Getting the most points for the most loops and Fun Stations OR

Grossing the highest $$ amount of pledges (everyone is invited to raise pledges for the school of their choice)

Prizes will be awarded, on the day, for most points in the following categories:

Individual Youth Biker (ages 5-9)

Individual Youth Biker (ages 10-14)

Individual Adult Biker (15 and over)

Individual Youth on foot (ages 5-9)

Individual Youth on foot (ages 10-14)

Individual Adult on foot (15 and over)

Team Youth (ages 5-14)

Pledges will be calculated after the event and the highest grossing pledge earner will be contacted to receive their prize.

After everyone finishes up their laps at 11, the Bald Mountain Boys will play us some music and the Food Truck will be serving up delicious eats for purchase while we tabulate the points.

Participation fee is:

$5 for ages 14 and under
